Belleville, IL Comprehensive Plan

Imagine Belleville is a year-long planning and citizen involvement process resulting in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The plan’s findings and recommendations focus on the physical and economic aspects of growth and development over a 20-year planning horizon. One goal of a comprehensive plan is to develop a unified vision, guiding principles,and “big picture” recommendations that provide overarching guidance for current and future decisionmakers. The implementation section helps to ground these recommendations in reality by prioritizing short-,mid-, and long-term strategies - with an emphasis on near-term “catalysts” that activate desired change.
